After the long wait, President Goodluck Jonathan confirms that former Deputy Governor of Imo State, Mrs. Ada Okwuonu has a comfortable spot in the Ministerial list. Do we say Congratulations Madam or ask HOW MANAGE? I leave that to you to decide. . . . .

Anyway, she joins Senior Kitchen Cabinet member, Mrs. Diezani Allison Madueke on the list. Please do not ask me why Mrs. Madueke is on the list for I do not know. If Mr.President finds her capable, who are we to challenge him?

What more can we do than to shake our heads in disappointment that ___ __________ is going contrary to his RECYLCE-free cabinet campaign promise?

I would have been very surpised if we saw a List with fresh names from A- Z. He might as well have added Amb.Kema Chikwe and Chief Ojo Maduekwe to balance the list.

Hajiya Zainab Maina

Dr. Akinwumi Adefila

Alhaji Bukar Tijjani

Mr. Mohammed Musa

Professor Ruqqayatu Rufai.

Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala – – – -> GOOD

Mary Onyali-Omagbemi

Ms Jumoke Akinjide

Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman

Alhaji Yusuf Hamisu Abubakar

Alhaji Nuhu Zagbayi

29 names so far . . . . not sure if more names are being dug out of the Recycle bin . Perhaps, Vice President Namadi Sambo will be the 30th Ministerial Nominee. . . . . who knows?

I am quite disappointed to see that Mrs. Diezani Allison Madueke made this list. We are not saying, dont recycle. All we are saying is IF YOU MUST Recycle, then RECYLCE the right people and for the right reasons!!

How in God’s name do we end up with a Three – time Minister? It is too glaring that there is something else Madam Madueke is bringing to Mr.President! Certainly not just Paperwork!

Of all the names, the nomination of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala comes well deserved. Tested and Trusted! While some of them used their Ministerial Positions to fatten their accounts and that of their great grand children in advance, Dr.Okonjo Iweala left with her intergrity in tact. That is how it should be!

I also find it shameful that most women forget their Marital vows when they get into the corridors of power. Only in Africa do we hear of stories Female Ministers _________ with Presidents just to be guaranteed a place in the kitchen. Money is indeed the root of all Evil. Tufiaaaaa!

Moving right along, I actually found it quite surprising that Prof.Viola Onwuliri was not listed. I thought that was one of the reasons why she rejected Gov. Okorocha s job offer as Commissioner? Or am I missing something?

I also see President Jonathan pulled a Gov. Okorocha stunt when he nominated Celebrated athlete, Mary Onyali -Omagbemi as Minister. One would think she is likely to head the Sports Ministry but someone cracked me up earlier today when he stated we should not be surprised if Mrs.Omagbemi ends up as Minister of Power & Steel. LOL!! Funny but VERY POSSIBLE!

Dr. Okonjo Iweala is no different. She just has a more professional way of looting. Ask her about her personal interest in the African University of Science and Technology which she use fronts as a University for Africa, whereas, she has personal interest in it. There’s an eye that sees it all.

This cabinet looks funny.Its just a PDP dinner party! Imagine the likes of Alkali and Haliru Bello…well a fitting reward for the duo for delivering GEJ and effectively killing zoning politics in Nigeria.Meanwhile,Dr Okonjo-Iweala may not accept her nomination,unless her stiff conditions are. met;while for Dr Ada Okwuonu it is befitting for her having been a loyal party-woman in Imo PDP despite the heat.DIezani is not a” dumb pretty blonde” as most people see her,she has been driving serious reforms in the oil and gas sector,let’s be fair to her and leave out the various scandals surrounding her personality because the truth has a way of sticking out someday.Now apart from Prof Barth Nnaji and Iweala,the rest do not appear to me to be the team to lift this country out of the woods.OK,Nigeria drifts on….

Listen guys, our own “onwa” was a minister for commerce and industry despite the fact he could not revive a single factory in his 8 years in Imo. No matter what Jonathan says and promises, you must remember that all “politics is local”. Ada Okwuonu, congrats jari.

Ada Okwuonu, personally known to me… absolutely nothing to offer, in my opinion. Perhaps will be representing the interest of her former boss. In the first instance, who or how do they come about the nomination of ministerial appointees, now that IMO state is controlled by APGA, shouldn’t the nominations be coming from the present government house ensuring proper synergy between state and federal representations to foster the advancing of the states development plans. Anyways, the story of Nigeria continues.

Ndi Imo, political appointments are not always awarded on merit but on loyalty and trust to the ruling party.
Let’s watch out and see the outcome of this administration. The cabinet is too young for us to judge. Please shield your swords and watch out diligently.

it is true that mr president is fit to govern our country( NIGERIA),but my comment on jumoke akinjide is that the woman is good and is a woman of passion,missions in which she has been tested,trusted and reliable,also the peaple of her state knows that she is a good representative.
